I'll level with you guys: I like characters that hit things. And I like Lini. So I wanted a Lini that hit things. I'm easy like that. My goal here was to basically combine Amiri and Lini into a single, soloable character. Most of the powers come from either Amiri or Lini's sheet, plus a couple I conjured up myself. Admittedly, he's very reminiscent of both. Divine spell-casting didn't make the cut and with his miserable charisma (let's call him Uncle Grumpy), he probably won't get Father Zantus, so I think he wants animals to recharge plus rechargeable items. He might get bogged down with too many weapons in his hand?
He's designed for pure solo play, mainly for when I'm not playing with either of my main groups. That's the main reason why I wanted to give him the animal reveal power.
Anywho, think grumpy hermit. He doesn't like you, he doesn't like me, but he likes Mr. Scruffy the cat. Hence the charisma. Otherwise, think barbarian and ranger had a baby and then abandoned him to the druids.
Do you guys think the animal companion feat line needs to get toned down? It is in line with Lini, but Lini doesn't have d10 strength, the melee skill, and isn't festooned with weapons.
Also, preference time: for this character, human or dwarf? Does my Pathfinder game really need two woodsy, surly dwarves?
